Blessed BELTANE!!

I had the honour of attending Edinburgh’s Beltane Fire Festival this year, after also attending their Samhain parade and ohhh…! For a solitary still in the broom closet, I can only say “WHOAAAA!!” There were many people there, probably more than half, that had no idea what was going on; yet the representations were wonderful … Continue reading →

Preparations for what is to come!

Greetings and Merry meet! The times to come should be interesting to say the least 🙂 I am very much looking forward to Beltane and the Edinburgh Beltane Fire Festival on Tuesday. Spring is finally beginning to make itself felt here in the cold North and I am indescribably thankful for the sunshine. My Spring Cleansing … Continue reading →

An old Irish Blessing for the new year (adapted) ;)

  May the Goddess give you for every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise, and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share. For every sigh a sweet song, and an answer for each prayer.   Blessings and light, Happy 2013! … Continue reading →

Christianity Slaps… ever had one?

Wow… I’m finding it still hard to swallow what I’ve just read. I was browsing over the blogs with the tag ‘Wicca’ and run into one that somehow didn’t look like it followed the lines of the rest of them. I did as my curious nature bid me, and went in to give it a … Continue reading →

Moon Cycles and the passage between Samhain and Yule

Full Beaver’s Moon has set me back in motion. I still find it quaint how much it affects me, how much my energy fluctuates and how much I get distracted and flicker into “urgent” things in my everyday. I wax and wane and yet I shed light. Or at least I try to.  It’s hard … Continue reading →

Perfect Love and Perfect Trust

I think about this over and over again. What I like the most about this is at the same time what scares me the most. Perfect Love and Perfect Trust. It seems hard… I refuse to say impossible, because it is probably what I want the most. To be able to give perfect love and … Continue reading →

A little bit of Research #1: Feri Tradition

Let’s face it, Faeries are cool. When I started my path, particularly being drawn to Wicca, I didn’t know there was a whole tradition devoted to them. I got some questions from a fun Wicca course I am following at the moment, and I decided to share my findings here. This is most definitely not … Continue reading →

Based on someone’s perception of a true story…

Neil Gaiman is an awesome writer. It was looking at my own bookshelf and seeing one of his publications that I started to write today. For many African peoples, Anansi is the Spider and Storyteller. He is the keeper of knowledge and history, weaving stories and bonds amongst his listeners.  Today, after this summer’s gone … Continue reading →
